Daemon & Alcohol AutoIt don't change driver name

[Kapo]

It happens in both installation programs,

when i use the function

ControlSetText ( $Title_1 , "", 909, $drivername ).

This command modifies the driver name in

theory because i don't know why the installer

takes the old names during the installation.

In fact my driver name are the original ones!

Does the function ControlSetText works?

ControlSetText works at sending the text directly to the control.

Send works at sending to the control.

But the installer does not seem to read from the control. Rather it reads the message stream sent to the window. Send does emulate the keyboard with these message streams sent, so read does work. Sadly the window does need to be active for Send to work. You can focus the controls with !b or !m with the message sent.

Example:

Send('!btest1')
Send('!mtest2')

Switches are available to change some of these settings.

Ok now i've understand.

Infact in the AutoIt section i've downloaded the

Daemon Tools script but the change of driver

doesn't work!

I've also tried with the ControlCommand ("editpaste", )

but it doesn't work.

Now i try to modify the script with the Send command.

Thanks very much.

Well also with some installers the control ID give is not the right one...see this a lot with TEdit2 controls and the like.

Also some times controls need focus before using any of the edit field commands...reguardless if its ControlSetText, ControlSend, or Send

So my prefs are:

1st ControlSetText (fastest)

2nd ControlSend (better window control)

3rd Send (f*** it)

So if you have a control that giving you grief try the following first..if changing controller ids doesn't work first.

ControlFocus ( $title , "" , control_id )

ControlSetText ( $title , "" , control_id , "string" )

If that fails try ControlSend in much the same manner...really do try to avoid sending blind Send commands.

My thoughts tho

I've modified the script with ControlFocus and

Send and it works perfectly!! Thanks!
